Star Wars learns spinjitzu

Mistunderstanding

Lloyd wakes up with a start on the Falcon his arm hurt and he looks down to see it was bandaged. He looks around and see's no one he gets up still sore in a few places. As he walks through a door he's suprised by what he finds. Zane and Chewi were playing a holographic game that seemed similar to chest only more alien. Cole and Luke were by there friends side just watching, Nya was wrapping Jay's feet in bandages and her eyes were red and puffy from tears she was so silent. When the others realize he's there everyone except Jay go up and give him a giant hug even Chewi who roars in relief. "Lloyd! We're so happy your okay!" Cole said in relief. "Can't breath." He rasps and they all let him go. Liea and Han come in with a mixed expression of relief and dread that Lloyd doesn't understand. As he looks around the room he has a dreadful feeling in his stomach as he looks around. "Where's Kai?" Lloyd asks hoping with so much hope he was in a another room. Everyone looks away, not making eye contact with him and he asks again louder. "Where's Kai!?" "Lloyd what do you remember happening?" Luke asks him. Puzzled by the question he answers. "I remember seeing a opening and we bolted but Kai wasn't with us so I went back to help him then everything went black." Lloyd answers truthfully. "When you ran back me and Han ran after you when we found you. He had sent a blast right at you hitting you in the arm and the shock and pain made you black out. He was only aiming for you there was nothing else near you we grabbed you from the ground and ran for the opening. When we looked back Kai had seemed different we don't know how to explain it but he seemed..." Luke faltered. "Broken and heartless" Han finishes with a grim tone.

Lloyd's world starts spinning and his knees buckle it was thanks to Cole catching him that he didn't fall completely. "What do you mean!?" Lloyd asks feeling hurt. "Lloyd I saw it my self. I hate to say it but it's true Kai did hit you it knocked you at least five feet away." Zane said solemly. Nya's eyes filled with tears and she went to sit by Jay and he hugged her in comfort trying to hold back his own tears.

Lloyd was in shock and he didn't seem to register anything as he touched his arm he looked at it. At first glance he thought it was broken but now that he looks and actually feels it. It had burn marks all along it nothing that wouldn't heal in time but the fact Kai did hit him. He really didn't want to believe it he was close to tears but had to hold them back. He looked over at Nya who was still sobbing something she only did when a teammate seemed to be dead. "Nya did you tell them?" Lloyd asked, she looked up from her crying and shakes her head in a no gesture. "Tell us what?" Jay asked with a confused expression at the others who looked just as confused as the others. With a deep breath Lloyd told them what had happened when they found Kai and what his secret was. It was a moment before anyone said anything then Cole asks the question they were all thinking. "And how do you feel about it?" He asked as Lloyd sat down in a chair. He looks at them with sad eyes. "I loved him too the same way Jay loves Nya but I never told him because I didn't want to loose him." Lloyd admits the ninja were shocked to hear that Kai was gay but not with Lloyd they honestly had a feeling about it.

"Thought so the way you always lit up as a kid when it was his turn to train you." Jay admits which honestly suprised Lloyd. "The fact that you always listened to his words more than ours when you were doubtful of yourself. Going to him when you had a nightmare so he could calm you down." Cole said. "And the fact it was only when Kai was near you or fighting you directly when you were under Morro's control that you broke through his hold." Zane states with a sliver of a smile. "We always knew you liked my brother but I never knew he felt the same way. I also don't think he ever realized you felt the same way either." Nya said both sad and confused. Lloyd slumps in his chair and starts crying letting the tears fall because to him Kai was dead. After a intense moment Han speaks up thinking what the rest of the rebels were thinking.

"I don't get it. Why did he keep it a secret it's nothing to be ashamed of, why did he just not tell you even with his life in danger?" He asked and the others nod in agreement. Jay spoke up coming to a conclusion on why. "He was afraid of us abandoning him." He states startling the others. "What? Why would he think that?" Lloyd asks clearly confused. "When me and Kai were captured I saw his dream and Vadar was talking to him. He was making it out to be that Kai thought we were afraid of him and keeping secrets from him. He just covered his ears and started yelling at him to stop saying that he had worked hard not to let us know. Then when he woke up he didn't realize I saw his dream and started asking me questions." Jay explains. "What questions?" Liea asked. "He was asking why we were keeping secrets from him I replied honestly. Anyway what he really seemed afraid the answer to was if we were afraid of him he asked if Nya was scared of him like the answer would kill him. He asked if we believed Vadar, asked why we were keeping secrets behind his back, I told him what I thought that he was just to stubborn to tell us. He told me the reason he didn't tell us was because the only other person he ever told used him to get close to Nya. When Kai found out he confronted him in a alley and the guy pulled out a knife pinning him to the ground. He nearly cut out his eye and told Kai that he was nothing but a freak who didn't deserve anyone nor would they want to be. Then left him there after nearly blinding him. He never told me what it was that he trusted the guy with but it's pretty obvious what happened." Jay explains.
